ANSWER: "Ruckmanite" is a name Bible critics call anyone
who disagrees with them.

EXPLANATION: Peter Sturges Ruckman was born in 1921.
He has spent years studying the manuscript history of the Bible.
He received his doctorate in philosophy from Bob Jones
University.

He has personally founded or helped to found dozens of
churches. He is the founder and president of the Pensacola Bible
Institute in Pensacola, Florida, where he has trained hundreds of
preachers, missionaries and Christian laymen. He has also
authored over forty books and Bible commentaries.

He is, without a doubt, the most outspoken champion of the
King James Bible in this generation. He is considered an extremely
dangerous foe to the Bible critics who teach that God has not
preserved His Bible perfect. (In spite of Psalm 12:6, 7).

His arsenal consists of an above average intellect, years of
studying Bible manuscripts and a caustic delivery. This abrasive
preaching style so offends (and scares) today's limpwristed
"soldiers of the Lord" that they shrink from any confrontation with
him, OR the facts he presents.

ALL Bible critics claim to believe that the Bible is the "perfect
word of God without a mixture of error." They make this claim to
deceive the people in their congregations. They live in fear that a
member of their congregation will pick up one of Dr. Ruckman's
many books and discover the difference between someone who
"claims" to believe that the Bible is perfect and someone who
really does.

Many Christians on their own, have concluded that the Bible
(King James Bible) is the absolute perfect word of God. They, in
complete innocence, will question their pastor's "improvements" on
scripture and suddenly find themselves denounced as a
"Ruckmanite. " In many cases they have never even heard of Dr.
Peter S. Ruckman.

This denunciation is a simple yet desperate tactic. No Christian
wants to be guilty of "following a man." Therefore, the Bible critic
reasons that if Bible believers can be accused of "man following"
they will discard their conviction and humbly follow them.

I once met a preacher who rejected the thought of being
grouped with Bible believers because he would then be a
"Ruckmanite." He claimed, " I don't follow any man."

This sounds very pious. He later informed me that he was a
"Calvinist." (A follower of the teachings of the man, John Calvin).

So, today, anyone who really believes that the Bible is the
perfect word of God without a mixture of error AND can produce
it instead of just talk about it can expect to be called a
"Ruckmanite" by someone who feels threatened by their faith and
confidence.
